I’m finally able to say that from January I’m going to be a Headteacher. I’m very excited to be part of the next chapter and lead my own school on its journey 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you @Headteacherchat for helping me start!!! #newheadteacher #headteacher

@Headteacherchat Our staff have a day a fortnight at home. We only have 5 teachers

Anon post: Exploring a new way to organise PPA. In the past it's been onsite, but considering options for teachers to work from home. Anyone have a successful model to share?

@kateowbridge @5Naureen As a brand new head this is an amazing post to come across. Thank you so much!

An ex of mine once said all I did as a DHT in Inner London was sit on my bum all day drinking tea. Hence why he’s an ex! What needs doing in January leaders? Here’s the monthly advice list! (And look after yourself, it’s a tougher term than it appears) kateowbridge.co.uk/what-to-do-thi…

New headteacher first 100 days Day 1: ✅Productive INSET ✅Chatted with all staff ✅Telephone calls to some parents ✅Further log ins sorted ✅Staffroom chat about The Traitors #newhead #first100days

@pdcornish76 Thank you so much!

@cully34 All the best in the new role. Shout if I can help in anyway. Even if it is just an ear to vent to.

Very excited, proud and privileged to have changed my Twitter handle 🎉🎉

@JasonCocker7 @MrTs_NQTs Yes Twinkl do a monthly one - I downloaded it yesterday.

Question for teachers… is there a general calendar of events that happen in schools throughout the year? With things like world book day on and so forth? Events that all schools would do? Where would I find this? Any help would be appreciated. @MrTs_NQTs

@ChrisG_CXG Is that Mexico?

Finally arrived at the hotel at 6am UK time, so a full 24hrs after we checked out of the hotel at Gatwick. As we pushed back to set off, another passenger was then removed for repeatedly smoking in the toilets, so that delayed us by another 30 mins (what is wrong with people?)

@MissEmmaTurner I’ve gone for as neutral and soft as possible after the glitter and glitz of Christmas!!!

My biggest decision of today is WHAT nails to have? 💅 These will be my first nails of 2026 nails, so I’m overthinking it.

@Mr_Crome Huge congratulations! I am starting my first term in January!

End of my first term as headteacher! Well done to all educators!! We made it. Blog to follow soon ❤️

Teachers walking into school after this relentless half term with two more hectic weeks to go

@londonteacher_ Absolutely amazing!!!!

I DID IT🫶🏻✨🩷

So so good 💚💚💚💗💗💗

@the_VHT We have always moved as the teaching after SATs is needed ie ratio and order of operations. We always find many units had a lot of steps that covered the same idea so could reduce those allowing for a shift. After SATs we cover areas in further detail and depen understanding.

Year 6 teachers using NCETM. Does this map provide appropriate coverage before the SATs or do we need to move some things from summer 2 to earlier on. Supporting a colleague and would appreciate your help

@GoBrainMo Very very excited, especially after a day there yesterday. Nerves have eased and I now can’t wait to get started! Thanks so much for asking.

@cully34 How exciting! How you feeling about it all?
